Weird to think that one of these displays is 24 inches and the other is 17.

Over the course of time, mobiles will displace consoles.
We can already mirror the iPad 2 onto HDTVs. Not the best news for dedicated consoles. It's not perfect, but it's a powerful portent. Dedicated devices (as opposed to convergence) are destined to DIE.
iCal this. Then in 2-3 years revisit this comment and be astounded.
You have your baskets mixed up. Apples go with apples, oranges with oranges. No reason to have a mobile device to play games on a large screen TV. Consles are no longer one trick ponies. Did you happen to catch this little tibit:Valve details PS3 Steam, and why Sony has best Portal 2 release (http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2011/04/here-is-how-youll-access-your-pc-copy-of-portal-2-via-the-ps3-disc.ars)
I'll summarize the important parts for you:
1: The fact that you'll get a free second copy of the game on your PC or Mac along with your PS3 purchase certainly doesn't hurt.
2: When you put your PS3 copy of Portal 2 in your system, hitting the select key will bring up the Steam overlay. From there you can play against friends who have the PC or Mac copies of the game, access and chat with your friend list, look at your achievements—it's fully integrated with your existing Steam account. You'll also be able to access your free copy of the game on the PC or Mac
With your "reasoning", people won't be buying large screen flat screens because they can get TV on their mobile, like I do now.

I don't know maybe because prior to January every consumer machine shipped since about 1990 has come with a consumer productivity suite and maybe I don't apple to lose sales because of sure stupidity. And yes iWork is like MS works. It is not an office suite, it was never meant to be, and it never will be one. It is the replacement for Appleworks. Hence the name iWork instead of Work Pro. Apple is smart enough to realize that it can't beat Microsoft in the office environment.
For the same reason the iLife suite is bundled with every Mac system -- to get people using them, and in the habit of buying the upgrades. I don't understand why Apple thinks this strategy works for iLife but not for iWork. Very short-sighted.
(1) Not even close to every machine ships with a productivity suite... in fact, if you look closely at what you're paying for when you buy most PC machines, those products that "ship standard" with your fancy new PC are built into the price. Most customizable online shops (Dell, et al.) allow you to remove that software and lower the price. So obviously, they are not free.
(2) iWork is undoubtably being groomed as a direct competitor to Office. There's no disputing that. It CURRENTLY is a replacement for AppleWorks, because it's still young and undeveloped in places, but it would be insane for Apple not to try and pursue part of the Office marketshare. It's an untapped resource, and frankly the Office programs are not very well constructed (with the exception of Excel). Outlook, Word, and PowerPoint are pretty lousy, and while Access is solid, it's certainly not leaps and bounds better than (PageMaker) <-- EDIT: Sorry, meant FileMaker.
(3) Bundling software, and then looking for profit on the backend with upgrades is a reasonable answer to the question. There's something to be said for that. But in the end, I think you're comparing Apples and Oranges. While at current, iWork is undeveloped, it is (as I said) being groomed to be a full suite of productivity Apps. iLife is a wonderful package of Apps, but they do not replace Pro Apps. iPhoto is garbage compared to Aperture or Photoshop. Pages is certainly not garbage compared to Word, and Keynote is already a much better App than PowerPoint. So I think there's a flaw in the argument here...

Money is already withheld for Social Security every check so how hard would it be to just take income.
Everyone who pays you doesn't withhold Social Security. Only if you're an official employee. How is it withheld from your ebay or other income profits or if you're freelance? You have to turn in quarterly returns if you're freelance. When you sell items you pay on your profit minus expenses.

The iTunes Phone Driver is for current Motorola phones not for the iPhone, you can read about it in the software update when it's installed, it was in the Software Updates as of a week ago.

Maybe they even sold some in one of those countries OUTSIDE of America :P

And no doubt developers are in for a lot of work if they have to make all their applications 'flexible'
From my understanding, hopefully not too much work. Basically, bitmap images need to be replaced with vector images if possible (or high resolution versions - I think I read app icons should be 256x256...). Same goes for any custom GUI components (which usually just use bitmap images). Everything else is handled by the OS.

Concur. Never once saw a Zune.
I get the sense MS is scrambling to catch up. They are a software company, and Apple is a hardware & software company (and I'll concede in many cases hardware = gadgets). However,they are all driven by a few streams of software which they continue to improve upon.
Sounds like you need to get out more.

It does seem as though people are putting so many guesses out there that one is bound to be right. I wouldn't be surprise to see a longer cycle this time as it must be getting harder each year to make big leaps in functionality rather than just refining and upgrading what is already there.

I think I said it in the "Newcastle, UK" thread but I've been to the three previous iPhone launches at Darlington's O2 store and there's never been a queue before 8.30 for a 9am opening.
I can't vouch for the other two but Darlo might be an easy place to get a 4 :)
Cool, it might have to be done in Darlo. Come opening time what kind of que did they have previously? (assuming you went to the launches)
I'll try and get at the store quite early, was thinking 8:15ish

That site looks very cool. I was under the impression I could try it out on one page but when I click download it says I need to pay $12? If it work I'll be paying for sure...but I want to try it first..
Don't bother. The Google Chrome developer tools tell you which CSS rules are unused and that is free (in the Audits section if you are interested).

I don't mind being charged for incoming calls for 2 reasons:
1. I've got a shitton of minutes available so I don't actually pay anything out of pocket.
2. I call other people's cell phones quite often. I don't have to pay so it saves me money :D
Even assuming I didn't have minutes and had to actually pay out of pocket for incoming calls, I call other cells enough that it would pretty much even out anyways.

Touche Aristo, I forgot about the HDMI output on iPad 2.
Only thing I see people on this board having a problem with (beyond allowing you to access their private network) is also giving you their optimum online login credentials, with which you can use to access their email, among other things.
Not saying that no one would do it, but I wouldn't give that information out--especially since the credentials I am using to login with are not my own.
But if you work out some sort of rules with somebody, I am sure some one would grant you access.
Just my $.02

Not everyone agrees, do they? Many Mac "fanatics" prefer Word. This one prefers Pages.
I like Pages for small documents (<20 pages). It has very crisp text display and it is quite nippy in use. The exposed features are quite comprehensive in a single-user environment and the application is quite fun to use. I have yet to try Mellel's word processor however, that is meant to be very good.
It certainly doesn't have the quirks of Word, but it has its own quirks that can be very annoying. For example it wants to be Page Oriented, but then acts like a word processor within each Page, allowing you to have multi-page Pages (that the page template doesn't apply to). WTF?! I admit I didn't get iWork the upgrades didn't seem worthwhile. Hopefully iWork 2007 will be more tempting.
OpenOffice.org and NeoOffice/J are slow clunky embarrassments to open source. AbiWord, Gnumeric, etc, are far nippier (although the former is barely a word processor).
KeyNote is, of course, awesome. However there needs to be a KeyNote viewer application for Windows (and Mac), PowerPoint export isn't ideal, and QuickTime is a bulky tradeoff.

Great Question! Mostly for posterity sake at first - phase 2 will most likely be filming (transfering?) a bunch of Super 8 movies and doing the same - need to research more on that still...
I'd say 30hrs of 8mm, god knows how many Super 8...
Somewhere before getting on with phase 2, I plan on editing and throwing together some things like our annual visits up north vacationing throughout the last 10 years or so..
The "what's next" question is perfect for if I should choose certain formats etc for whatever I do next!
